Time and again we pass the ball straight to opponents feet. Is try eye any other PL team who do this more often than us?

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Not that I'm absolving the players of responsibility but ETH has to be one braindead manager not to work out how porous this team is and allowing teams 20+ opportunities every game is only going to lead to losses and plenty of them.

He simply has to go, I'm not sure what we are playing for the rest of season as Forest must be horrendous if they can't wipe the floor with us in FA cup.

 

[fergiewherearethou]

We did we show up only for the last 15 minutes of each half? We don't want to or we can't?

 

[CasaStreets]

Time to take up some extra hobbies and away from here and twitter I'm thinking.

Probably a good idea either way

 

[gerdm07]

The thing that really grinds me is we are only playing 1 match a week now. This means we should be rested and the manager should have ample time to prepare the team. Instead, we look pretty bad even when we do get some results.

 

[Gordon Godot]

Sort of result that was waiting to happen when you removed the ability of good moments playing of the confidence of Hojlund and Garnacho together.

This could have happened to us in any of the matches we've played since Xmas except maybe West Ham. Absolute liability waiting to happen

Spot on. A couple of wins and the ETH fan boys are out. The underlying performances are still poor, we cannot retain let alone control possession. Its shambolic

 

[Yorkeontop]

We won't get top 5 though. Fulham home should be a banker.

When we play City and Chelsea away and title contenders Liverpool and Arsenal home, with just 12 games left, we'd probably need to win 8-9 of the 12.

You just got the post-defeat blues. Spurs are catchable.

 

[1988]

We're the new spurs. Every team goes into the games, even the ones at Old Trafford, with the mentality "Lads it's Manchester United".

 

[Pughnichi]

Deluded. Harry come out and said the first half was quite even…like it was a good thing

it shouldn’t be even you plonker. It’s ManUtd at Old Trafford vs Fulham for Christ sake

 

[always_hoping]

So we're having our new manager bounce vs City is what you're saying?

Not even Pep would get much of bounce out of that flaky group of United players. Major clear out required I'm not alone to say I'm sick of watching a lot of those fellas wear the United jersey, Sir Jim has a massive task on his hands and needs to focus on that instead of his desire for a state of the art Old Trafford.

We do look even more sluggish. We didn’t change tempo all game.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Sad really but I fully expected us to lose that game once Hojlund was ruled out.
His freak form was literally the only reason we’ve been getting the wins we’ve been getting. The balance of the games were not in our favour and you knew today would be the same and that nobody would be able to bail us out.

 

[Wisqo]

As a supporter for over 30 years, I've never remembered having a captain so ineffective. I hate singling out players, but Bruno has been miles off his best for some time.

Don't know what to say about Rashford, he also looked miles off. It was too easy for Fulham today, they looked far more disciplined on and off the ball.

Gutted but not surprised.

This is a pipedream that won't happen in the foreseeable future with our FFP constraints.

 

[Sly]

I'm not a fan of EtH and have written that I want him out but the attitude of the players is unacceptable. Most of them don't deserve to play for a club of this stature. United really needs a full reset.

 

[Red Royal]

Fulham deserved that and we just didn't turn up. That is on the manager.

 

[Sandikan]

You just got the post-defeat blues. Spurs are catchable.

They'd have very much been if we'd won this.
But we've blown a huge chance here, and losing next week gives them the chance to properly boot the gap again.

We'll have to produce something special and beat Arsenal and Liverpool later on.

 

[The Irish Connection]

Woeful.
Ten Hag gone in the summer you’d imagine.

 

[Mockney]

Even when we suddenly decided to start trying properly in the 89th minute, the only chances we could feasibly muster anyway were rebounds from long shots. Our chronic inability to create anything even approaching an opening against any side that defends even somewhat competently has been the kryptonite of this team for a decade now.

The fact we even hired a well regarded system manager seemingly in an explicit attempt to fix this, only for him to turn around after 8 months and go “nah, we actually can’t do any of that, soz. I can only train these idiots to get close to their goal when the game is a stretched chaotic mess” is some pure banter FC shit. We’re so back babyyyyy!

 

[RoyH1]

It's both....ETH deserves plenty of criticism, but these players are fecking useless.

No argument with you there. But firing a stubborn and ineffective manager is easier than replacing a roster full of holes. We need to start there and set a tone.

 

[BeltUp]

Bruno has been terrible for too long now.

 

[siw2007]

Better team won, another drab performance from the team this season. We should never have lost the game once it went 1-1, but we went chasing the game and Fulham exploited our biggest weakness which is our defensive transitions. We definitely miss the players that are injured, but they missed some key players as well. If that is the best we can muster without some key players then I am extremely worried about what we’ve got in store for us in the next month.

 

[Woziak]

Woeful.
Ten Hag gone in the summer you’d imagine.

Might been gone sooner if his team continues to play like this ?

 

[gearoid]

Disappointed but not surprised. We’re just not good enough for the top four and that performance showed why. No work rate, no creativity, no fight, no pace. Woeful all over the park.

 

[Sly]

Deluded. Harry come out and said the first half was quite even…like it was a good thing

That's a Moyes level comment and a sympton of the current mindset. He should enjoy Moyes fate.

 

[DSG]

ETH mentions in his presser that every game is a final from now on and this is the performance the players put out.

Such a sad bunch of wimps.

I saw a lot of effort from the players. Work rate was absolutely not a problem. They either didn’t adequately execute the game plan or the game plan was shit.

 

[Kopral Jono]

It's been coming. Hojlund and inshallah was never going to be sustainable.

 

[doomy20]

Those We don’t give a feck 3pm games are why as a foreigner I am to scared to do a 600€ weekend trip. I‘d lose all my love if theyd serve something like this. Unacceptable

 

[stevoc]

The thing that really grinds me is we are only playing 1 match a week now. This means we should be rested and the manager should have ample time to prepare the team. Instead, we look pretty bad even when we do get some results.

Indeed.

Unless we can pull two wins off against Forest and City away in the next week, our season is effectively over by the end of February.

 

[sdb4884]

Defence & midfield is trash, wing backs and wingers are ok & we have one striker who wasn't playing, thats our team.

 

[abailey123]

60 minutes in we’d not had one attempt in the second half. You can’t expect anything in the league playing for 10 minutes chasing an equaliser. Our problem is the drop off, as soon as we get a couple of injuries to key players (Shaw, Martinez, Hojlund, Casemiro) we don’t have the quality to replace them. Rashford was awful through the middle. Did McTominay have a kick when he came on? Dire, season will be over on Wednesday night unfortunately.

 

[Wisqo]

I'm not a fan of EtH and have written that I want him out but the attitude of the players is unacceptable. Most of them don't deserve to play for a club of this stature. United really needs a full reset.

I didn't even celebrate the equaliser. It was gut-wrenching watching giving the ball away so carelessly so many times I would have been more surprised if we'd gone on to win it than lose.

No leadership, no passion. Just a paycheck for many in the team atm.

 

[DSG]

Disappointed but not surprised. We’re just not good enough for the top four and that performance showed why. No work rate, no creativity, no fight, no pace. Woeful all over the park.

I disagree. I think we did have a good work rate and some fight. The lulls in the attack point to lack of ideas, patterns of play.

 

[Raoul]

It's been coming. Hojlund and inshallah was never going to be sustainable.

 

[DSG]

We’ve seen thousands of awful situations since Fergie’s departure. Lindelof at LB is right up there.

This.

 

[Moriarty]

Shame that good run had to end like this. Missing Shaw and Rasmus was a blow but I would have expected a bit more fight from the players. The second goal was preventable. The amount of space and time Iwobi was allowed was criminal. Can't blame Onana for that.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

We played like we usually play.
We did not have our goalscorer on and and did not get that extra luck we need.
We had chances to score another goal but so did Fulham. Like usual our games can go either way, this time it went to Fulham.

Correct. People acting like this was far different from other performances haven’t been paying attention.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Didn’t watch it today so At least my weekend isn’t ruined.

 

[hellhunter]

Didn’t watch it today so At least my weekend isn’t ruined.

We lost at home to Fulham. You're welcome.

 

[Parma Dewol]

So bad. To be completely outplayed by Fulham, at Old Trafford, is both shocking and, sadly, not the least bit surprising.

They even decided to give us a route back into the game by sitting in for the last 10 minutes. To equalise and then see nine minutes go up on the board, you would absolutely expect the home side to go on and win it. But nope, no urgency, no rallying cry, and all Fulham had to do was come out of their half again.

Piss poor.
